I do not know what is dima compaining, besides that he usually complains on everything. One thing is for sure, current system does not correspond to international stage. Dima should know best this is international system, not national one. So does not matter how good Boll play in Germany, if he...
But he does send other players, LJK played already 2 Times world tour just this year and Wang Chuqin once as I remember. I do not like ZJK attitude but he is really talented player, why:
1. He plays close to the table then most of chinese
2. BH banana flip is really exceptional
3. Great serve...
No idea where to find it. It was few years ago, when Wang Hao was active player. I remember they put racket cover on the table close to the net to point where the Ball should land. LGL got so much spin That even on cover the Ball went backspin to the net.
I think Daniel Górak can make some good run. Now he plays 3rd table in Polish Superligue but he is the most titled player in Poland. We also have Kreanga, Hachard from France and few japanese youngsters.
I think next round can be interested
Haha in fact I do not dislike XX, he is quite neutral for me. Sure I prefer him then ZJK or FZD. So it is not a question of who i like or not. Of course more arguments are for him, but I am just not so sure if he is going to be WR 3 for longer period. Seems FZD and ML found easy way to win with...
Of course the level of opponents was different but he is not playing international stage for 10 years. So I do not compare him to XX but to other youngsters like Yan An or Liang Jingkun or Zhou Yu. Regarding tht he is the first one to pick besides top 4. I think it is the question who they want...
If you look at whole history you may change your mind. XX had one of the best ratio with foreigners he has been playing international stage since 2008, he had quite good start but at that time he was also loosing from time to time to foreigners but that time the competition in china was also...
For me the present form is one of the best factor, the other is international experience and success there. XX had many ups and downs last year. So I think Fang Bo is less risky.
I do not have time to do all stats, just can give you opponents they lost:
Fan Bo; 2015 - masato shiono, wang...
Here you go:
2016 lost (1 ) to Chuang
2015 lost (2 ) to anton kallberg, mattias karlsson
2014 lost (2 ) to gao ning, tang peng
2013 lost (8 ) to muramatsu (3 Times), joo saehyuk, ovtcharov, niwa, jeoung yungsik, mizutani
I think little bit more interested are last two years and here we go:
ML - 0
FZD - 0
FB - 3 (all 2015)
XX - 4 (3 in 2016)
ZJK - 8
Statistic never lies, ML and FZD are quite obvious, we have also LGY who qualified. I think next option is Fang Bo who had quite good last year and also this one in...
I know this stuff couse I have same problem. Mostly it concerns the lumbar spine. To tell you the truth it is impossible to heal it. Once you got problems with that you can instal blocker but that will affect your movement ability (other words you cannot play TT at this level) or you can do...
Time is important but I wouldn't do this way. Better idea is to provide more balls like in China league, so the time between points is limited, also there should be quicker serve execution not like Ma long did last time in Qatar Open, when he was taking a lot of time to prepare for serve. Also...
